Regulatory Research:Laboratory-Based Initiatives • Early active laboratory participants in ILSI collaborations (nephrotoxicty and genotoxicty) • Affymetrix GeneChip system collaboration - cardiotoxicity focus • Rosetta research collaboration - cardiotoxicity focus • NCTR collaborations ongoing (several biological, database, statistical, reference standards) • Schering-Plough collaboration - PBL gene expression and vasculitis
FDA Office of Science & Health Coordination-Funded Collaborative Project • Genome scale expression data submitted to the FDA could be generated from a variety of microarray platforms • Oligonucleotide or cDNA-based arrays • Numerous commercial platforms • In-house custom arrays • Can a standard be developed that would help assure the FDA of the “biological truth” of the submitted microarray data (independent of platform and site of processing)?
FDA Office of Science & Health Coordination-Funded Collaborative Project “Evaluation of Performance Standards and Statistical Software for Regulatory Toxicogenomic Studies” • Laboratory Component (FDA) • K. Thompson, PI @ CDER • J. Fuscoe, PI @ NCTR • Laboratory Component (Outside Collaborators) • Rosetta Inpharmatics • Agilent • NIEHS • Amgen • Iconix • Affymetrix (Statistical support) • Statistical Component • Statisticians from numerous FDA Centers
GOALS Goal is to generate and evaluate a complex mixed tissue standard’s utility for assessing platform features….. • No manufacturing defects • Insignificant platform lot-to-lot variability • Assess integrity of feature location • Unambiguous consensus sequence annotation • Lack of cross-contamination in tiled probe features
….and for assessing experimental performance • Quality (integrity /purity) of starting sample • Quality of processed (labeled/amplified) sample • Hybridization performance (probe sensitivity, specificity) • Image scanning limitations (background/slope/saturation) • Transformation process into “rough” measured data (background/slope/saturation) • Normalization/scaling to an analytical value worthy of comparison • Data selection and analysis procedures to focus biological thinking (false positive/false negative minimization) • Biological conclusions that are independent of platform and represent biological truth
Proposed Steps for Testing Feasibility of Mixed Tissue Standard using Benchmark Genes • Identify tissue-selective, low variance “Housekeeping” (i.e., always expressed) rat genes from control animal data in large databases. These genes should optimally exhibit a consistent rank order of expression level in defined samples (by age, sex, strain). • Select tissues with most consistent expression among control animals and most coverage of probes

Collaboration with Iconix Pharmaceuticals • Provides research access to DrugMatrix™ system for evaluation purposes. • Provides hands-on experience using chemogenomic data and tools, including the application of molecular toxicology markers to predict drug actions. • Provides first-hand experience with a very large dataset linked to traditional toxicology outcomes. • Iconix continues to provides training and support in the areas of QA/QC methods associated with gene expression microarray data generation, analysis of data across multiple gene microarray product platforms, and the derivation and validation of markers of toxicity and mechanism from integrated chemogenomic datasets.

Collaboration with Expression Analysis/Schering Plough Conduct a mock submission of microarray data • Provide a suitable framework in which to augment, reduce, or further define a potential list of recommendations • Contribute to the development of consensus around the specific elements of applicable recommendations, within the context of a mock submission • Contribute to building and refining a process in which microarray data may be submitted to FDA
Proposed Activity Plan for Mock Data Submission 1. Concept Definition and Refinement of Scope May 5, 2003 2. Recommendations/Aims/Approach Document Development and Review June 2003 3. Pilot Submission July 2003 4. Intermediate Stakeholder Review and Feedback August 2003 5. Incorporation of Further Refinements and Iterations Aug-Oct 2003 6. Completion of Mock Submission October 2003 7. Final Stakeholder Discussion Forum November 2003 8. Development of Summary Report November 2003
Areas to Address • Laboratory infrastructure • Data management • Study-specific array performance • Study-specific experimental design • Study-specific pre-processing and statistical analysis methods • Interpretation of results
Data Management • Data management, bioinformatics, and statistical analysis systems and software • Data files and file structures • Variables and definitions • Linkage mechanisms between microarray and other datasets • Histopathology • Clinical chemistry • Phenotype
CDER Guidance (January 1999): Providing Regulatory Submissions in Electronic Format Animal line listings as datasets “Animal line listings that you would provide on paper or in PDF format may be provided as datasets. Just as you provide data for each domain (e.g., body weights, clinical signs) as a table in a paper or PDF submission, with electronic datasets, each domain should be provided as a single dataset”.
CDER Guidance Recommendations • Provide each dataset as a SAS transport file. • Size is less than 25 MB per file (not compressed). • Data variable names should be no more than 8 characters. • A more descriptive data variable label, up to 32 characters in length, should be provided. • Data elements should be defined in data definition tables (1 set of data definition tables/study). • Each animal should be identified with a single, unique number for all the datasets in the entire application. • The variable names and codes should be consistent across studies. • Provide the duration of treatment based on the start of study treatment.
Nonclinical Data sets; Notice of Pilot Project Federal Register / Vol. 68, No. 17 / January 27, 2003 [Docket No. 02N – 0532] “This pilot project is part of an effort to improve the process for submitting nonclinical data. Eventually, FDA expects to recommend detailed data standards for the submission of nonclinical data”. FDA received recommendations for a standard presentation of certain clinical data from the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium, Inc. ( CDISC). CDISC is currently facilitating the work on similar standards for nonclinical data sets.
Comparison of CDER guidance to MIAME/Tox Proposal • CDER guidance paradigm appears more comprehensive with less restrictive vocabulary e.g. CDER proposal treats LABTEST as a variable, while MIAME/Tox proposes a field for each possible Clinical Chemistry test. • MIAME/Tox collects information on in vitro experiments whereas the Agency generally does not receive line listing for Pharmacology data. • MIAME/Tox did not collect information on drug plasma levels whereas toxicity studies submitted to the Agency may include PK assessments.
Considerations for the submission of array data • Sponsors provide annotations to non-clinical data containing array information by following a Guidance-compliant format. • The Guidance may have to be extended to include how the array data may be submitted. • Include the following files: raw data files post image analysis (e.g., *.cel and *.chp in the case of Affymetrix array data) linked by animal identifier. • Include summary report to describe any normalizations, data processing, and/or statistical analysis; i.e., how conclusions were derived.

Suggestions for the Submission of Array Data • By evaluating several submissions, we can gain understanding of the fields/issues that need to be reconciled for database purposes. This proposal, • Works with current guidance. • Does not create any additional burden for the Sponsor. • Leaves possibility of in-house database creation.
